Was Splash Water Falls open today? I saw it closed on Friday, and I'm wondering if it's open again.

Didn't the Pictorium get new seats this year? I agree that SSA will go and a Stargate will open in a different park.

Screamscape would beg to differ, but we all know how they are. However, it does make complete sense to put the go-karts right next to the other cars.

Splashwater out, Winners Circle in, Splashwater possibly in waterpark. Hmm, sounds logical, I guess. :?

Noah's Ark has Flash Flood (something like SWF), and it's great in a waterpark. It would suit a waterpark much better.

Planea380, are you kidding about the new pieces or not? If so, what do they look like?

The go carts are going in splash water falls spot according to screamscape. And it also said we might get a master blaster. I dont know qhos giving them this info though so its not official and its pretty much what we thought was going on.

Yes, they new pieces by Shockwave are real, I saw them, even though it did take me a long time to see them, I did see them. I think that they could be supports to either a slide complex or a master blaster ride. And Splashwater Falls was open, and I did ride it for the first time this season just because it might be my last.

I actually hope Screamscape is not lying about this one, I hope we do get a masterblaster, that would be far superior than Splashwater Falls, and I doubt they would put SWF back up if it is taken down.

SFGAm is getting smarter. Hiding pieces by Shockwave is really smart. After the SUF "fiasco" in which many people knew what it was before it was up, they've gone to secrecy. Notice, that RC tracks didn't come until the season opened.

I don't understand why they do try to hide them. Many people might be more attracted to come to the park just to see something new. Let's say that the park revealed the plans for RB before it opened (the year before, September). "We are going to get a 200 ft. giant." People would spread news about it like crazy, and increase the hype of it.

Instead, they want to keep the new ride or rides secret, and it only hurts the park through many disappointments. People think something is coming through rumors, when the complete opposite is there instead, and they might mad at the park.

This is what I think about the situation. The GP could probably careless that there is a coaster over there in the parking lot, or field. (When SUF was laying in the parking lot, I was on Sky Trek Tower, and not one person said what's that blue, red, and yellow ride over there. I was on it quite a bit just to see it.)

However, if you tell them that a rollercoaster is going to be fast, go upside-down 7 times, be 200 ft., make you feel like your falling out, or fly through the sky before the ride opened (a year), they would probably be as thrilled as us. If you read this, this is for you.:lol:

Ilovethevu, the general public probably doesn't give two flying (you know whats) whether they can see the track or not. Leaving the parts out in the backlot wont attract attendance.

Also, I don't think that the general public views 99.999 % of the rumors out there and since the GP makes up most all of the attendance at parks, theme parks probably dont care too much about rumors. Keep in mind, your an enthusiast, the GP thinks different. Thus the reason why they wait in 3 hour S:UF lines. :lol:

This just an observation that I saw on Friday. I saw two trucks that were entering the park right after each other when I was. They were white semi's, and I even told my family, but they didn't believe me that they could have been parts for the waterpark. Now, that you guys saw new parts by Shockwave, they must have brought them.

S:UF's line isn't 3 hours it's more like 1 1/2 on a normal busy day.

For your information, I've never seen semi's enter the lot except once when the truck was illegally parked, and security told them to get out of the park. Many food supplies trucks would have a name such as Sysco so they can be recognized.
